The new British coin the double form
or dollar, is believed to be the beginning
Of the end of the old pounds, shillings,
pence and farthings division of British
money. For a long time the present pound
has been regarded as an inconvenient
unit of monetary value and many schemes
have been proposed to remedy the fault.
The London Chamber of Commerce has
now under consideration a plan making
the four shilling piece the unit of value or
dollar, and dividing it into cents. BY
this plan nearly all the existing coins can
be utilized without creating any confu-
sion from having a double standard of
unit value in force. The sovereign would
become five dollars, two shillings a half
dollar, one shilling twenty-five cents,
while the new coins would be ten and
five cents, the new penny two cents and
the half-penny one cent.

Recfpes,

COTTAGE PUDDING.-One cupful sugar,
two eggs, two cupfuls cream, one pint
-four, one and one-half teaspoonfuls
baking powder. Beat the eggs and
sugar together; add cream, flour, with
the powder sifted in, and pinch of salt,
mix into smooth batter as for cup cake
put into long, narrow or oval buttered
mold, bake in hot oven over thirty
minutes.
GINGER Pound CAKE.-Six cups OF
flour, two cups each of butter, brown
sugar and molasses, eight eggs, two
tablespoonfuls each of cinnamon, ginger
and soda and two nptmegs; dissolve the
soda in cup of sour milk. Line the
pans with creased paper and put brown
paper over the top to prevent the crust
forming too quickly One-half of this
recipe can be used with good results
SPICED OR PICKLED APPLEs.-To six
pounds of the peeled and cored apples,
take four pounds sugar, one quart of
good cider-vinegar and a tablespoonful
each of ground cloves and cinnamon tied
loosely ina bag and stepped in the vine
gar little while in advance. Make a
syrup of the sugar, vinegar and spices,
NOOh III IL lht uulll NllC1 dlO oOA''
but not broken at all, then dip them out
into bottles, cover closely and keep them
hot while the syrup boils down quite
rich; then fill up the bottles with the
syrup and seal. Many use mole vinegar
than here suggested, but it makes more
acid preparation than this recipe, and
might hence be chosen in preference by
lovers of sour fruits.
BLACK BEAN SoUP.-This popular
soup is made in various ways. The fol
lowing is very good, and requires less
work than some others: Take one pound
round beef, near the shank, half pound
salt pork, and one quart of black beans.
Chop the beef and pork, and boil them
with the beans. When partly done, add
a grated carrot and an onion. Boil
several hours, or until the beans are
ready to fall to pieces; then strain
through soup sieve; return to the ket-
tie, and add salt and pepper to taste, a
couple hard-boiled eggs in slices, with a
little sliced lemon; or, emitting these,
use "F0rce Neat BdllSn in their place.
For making these last, chop cold beef,
veal or lamb, very fine; add sufficient
flour to make it stick together in balls
about the size of a walnut. Roll these
in beaten egg, then in cracker dust, and
fry until brown. Add the balls to the
soup Just before it is served upon the
table.

AduIterated Flour.

Adulteration of flour by means of po-
tato -four may be detected by means OF
acids. Take a spoonful and pour upon
it little nitric acid; If the flour be of
wheat, it will be changed to an orange
yellow; il wholly of potato flour, the
color would not be altered, but the flour
formed into a tenacious Jelly; if, there
fore, the flour be adulterated with potato
flour, it will not be difficult to decide.
Again, take spoonful of the flour and
pour upon it a little muriatic acid; if
the -four be of pure wheat it will be
changed to deep violet color; but if
potato flour be mixed in it, it will then
have an odor like that of rushes.-Sciea-

AN intimate friend OF Miss Sara
Jewett, the favorite New York actress,
whose unfortunate condition is causing
some comment in the newspapers, is
authority for the following statement
regarding her case: Some seven
years ago Miss Jewett went to England
in the summer on a professional en-
gagement which greatly overtaxed her
energies. She was suffering from in
somnia and nervous exhaustion, and
consulted an English physician. He
prescribed for her a sleeping potion,
which was composed of orange flower
water and chloral. There was the be-
ginning of Sara Jewett's ill-health and
ill-fortune; and until medical science
is 30 far advanced that physicians are
too intelligent and too moral to pre-
scribe the most appalling and deadly
of dangerous drugs-until we see that
day, let us hold in charity the mistake
of young, inexperienced woman, am
bilious in her art, and who gained such
swift relief from following the advice
of a physician eminent and honored in
his profession. There lies the blame
the crime, for it can be called nothing
whelming disaster for an artist whose
future outlook was among the fairest
on the stage. Miss Jewett comes of a
refined family; her social sphere is of
the highest; she was an especial favor
ite and almost a protege of the poet
Longfellow; she has beauty, exquisite
culture and refinement, grace, and
winning sweetness that gives to her
presence a never-failing charm. This
insidious habit, first acquired by the
professional counsel of an eminent
medical practitioner, fastened itself
deeper and deeper upon her till he
sad and inevitable result is reached"
FRANK BURNS, farmer in the Laurel
Hill Mountains, three miles from Ba-
kersville, Somerset County, Pennsyl-
vania, made queer capture recently.
The evening was very cool, and as twi-
light came on there flew into his attic

A Universal Sign.

In every country we have visited one
friend familiar in our own country has
followed us, the sign of "Post no bills. "
In England we found it "Stick no bills;"
in France il was "Deicnse dafliciere;n
in Italy, II probita I efiisione;' and in
Germany, "Aukleben verboden.n In
Italy and in France the sign is very com

There are 400 Mormon Bishops in
Utah, 2,423 Priests, 2,947 Teachers, and
1854 Deacons. Salt Lake City is di-
vided into wards of eight or nine blocks
'each, and Bishop is put in charge of
each ward. Under him there are two
teachers, whose business is to learn the
employment and income of every resident
of the ward and report the same to the
Bishop. Then the Bishop collects the
tenth of each mans income and turns il
over to the church authorities.

SILENCE.
~ know what Silence means

~ know what Silence means =
It is to live alone from day to day,
To listen for a long-loved voice alway;
To yearn and yearn and be unsatisfed,
Because there is no loved one by my side
This is what Silence means.
To feel soft shadow kisses on my face;
To miss a long-desired, dear-loved embrace.
To strain the hearing for a single word;
To learn the anguish of hope long deferred
This is what Silence is.
l might have music every day in the year:
Might hear young voices rising sweet AMI
clear,
Flinging soft laughter on the summer air;
But since the voice beloved would not be
there
know what Silence means.
To sit in crowds and of them make no part;
To feel the sick pain gnawing at my heart;
To have no hopes, no wishes, no desires
Light up the embers of long dead fires
This is what Silence is.
V.
To hear my echoing corridors repeat
The ghostly patter of dead children's feet:
To feel them close to me $50 dear, so fairD,
And stretching yearning arms, clasp in
empty air
This is what Silence is!
